Yang An wasn't dead.
At the last critical moment, he had managed to react, consuming all of his flesh and blood essence before his body was completely torn apart.
But it wasn't enough.
In the end, it was the Mother Divination True Master who saved him.
She used a full five Meat Eggs from her flesh-skirt!
Only when Yang An felt that his flesh and blood were still intact, that he could breathe normally again, and that the pain had vanished, did he finally come to his senses.
He had just taken a trip through the Ghost Gate.
It was only now that he understood what He Tou meant back at the Heavenly Respect Pavilion. When Yang An had volunteered to join them, He Tou had said he wasn't worthy.
He meant that since Yang An hadn't reached the Visceral Stone Realm, he couldn't regenerate his flesh and blood to recover from grievous injuries.
